| [chrony-dev] [PATCH v2] main: add -X to fall back if time is not adjustable |

In unprivileged containers even after e8096330 "sys_linux: don't keep
CAP_SYS_TIME with -x option" default installations
will still run without an explicit -x being set and therefore fail by
missing CAP_SYS_TIME.
In some use cases users want the NTP server service to "just work" which
in a non-CAP_SYS_TIME environment means that chrony has to fall back (but
only there).
By that a user will get an NTP server working independent to the
environment, that will control the local time if it is able to do so.
The new config allows an admin and setup tools to opt into -x like behavior
if needed, without loosing the feature to control time when running in an
environment that is able to do so.

This allows *chronyd* to run without the capability to adjust or set the system
clock (e.g. in some containers).
+*-X*::
+This option allows *chronyd* to disable the control of the system clock if
+it fails to do so. *chronyd* will try to initialize the clock, but if failing
+fall back to to the mode as described by the *-x* option.
+This comes handy if one wants a config to work as NTP server in any
+environment, but control the local clock only if it is possible.
+
*-v*::
With this option *chronyd* will print version number to the terminal and exit.
